I suspect the Flatcad has a bit more in it than that.  Go get 'em! :cheers:

154.628 in the 2-1\4. We're headed to impound!

Conservative tune with 9lbs boost.

I heard 160 + on the webcast.  That's rippin' for an antique.

Looking forward to the official results, but until then -

Real quick- we have Dale in impound,for a return run in the morning. We haven't worried about our record speeds, just our 2-1\4 speeds. We have yet to run past the 2-1\4.

In the morning, we will run the full 3. I have Dale a mid-range tune, 300 more rpm's, and will add 5lbs air to the tires.

Look for 170+ mph.
